Hi @SUBHASH1431,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
The issue you're describing with your HP Laptop PC 15—where one side of the screen is dim and slowly brightens over 2-3 minutes—could be related to several factors.
- Backlight Issue: The backlight responsible for screen brightness may be malfunctioning. This can cause uneven brightness across the screen. As it warms up, the backlight might start functioning properly.
- Inverter or Power Supply Issue: If your laptop uses an inverter to power the screen's backlight (common in older LCD screens), a failing inverter could lead to this behavior.
- Cable Connection: A loose or damaged cable connection between the display and the motherboard could cause inconsistent power delivery, leading to uneven brightness.
- Display Driver or Software Issue: It's possible that a driver or software glitch is affecting the screen. Updating or reinstalling your display drivers might help.
Steps to troubleshoot:
Update Display Drivers:
- Go to Device Manager > Display adapters, right-click on your graphics driver, and select Update driver.
- Restart your laptop after updating.
Check Display Settings:
- Go to Settings > System > Display, and check if adjusting brightness settings manually has any effect.
Test External Display:
- Connect your laptop to an external monitor. If the external display works fine, the issue is likely with the laptop screen or its hardware components.
Perform a Hard Reset:
- Turn off the laptop, disconnect all peripherals, unplug the charger, and remove the battery if possible. Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds, then restart the laptop.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
